I used to have a terrible method of dealing with my depression. I would sleep off my days when I feel I didn’t have a purpose in life. Whenever I’m sad, I would always think of sleeping it off to kill time. As I dealt with the depression this way, it makes everything worst. I would get headaches and I would feel unproductive, that I was wasting away my life. I decided to get up and go exercising. I never liked to exercise, but that feeling after exercising is the best feeling like I accomplished something. I didn’t accomplish anything major, but I knew I did something I avoided doing for most of my life. Exercising fights away sadness.
“Now O Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” Jonah 4:3
The question is how do you fight depression?
- Start exercising. Start easy by doing leg lifts.
- Set goals. Whether you will accomplish those goals or not doesn’t matter. It’s good to set goals first.
- Start a blog and write anything and everything. It doesn’t matter if you have nothing to write about or if you don’t have a vast vocabulary. You can build that by reading books. If there is a word you don’t know in a book you’re reading, it’s good to write down the sentence with that word and look it up and write down the meaning. This sounds like something children would do, but it’s also good to memorize vocabulary.
- Clean the house. Put stuff away. Organize your kitchen. Water your plants.
- Take cold showers and wash your hair. Washing your hair helps to cure headaches.
